The event in question took place at English Nationals in August. According to Foulkes, no one had collected his decklist before Round 1, and when he went to go turn it in, the judge asked if he had received his promo. Foulkes lied and said no, was caught, and disqualified from the event.

Usually, an infraction like trying to steal a promo and lying to a judge wouldn’t become the talk of the international Magic community. Unfortunately for Foulkes, his DQ and subsequent tweet publicizing the incident came during a week where cheating was the hot topic.

18 months is the standard punishment for a player’s first major violation. Foulkes reacted to his ban by saying that Magic had become less fun and he had been thinking about stepping away from the game anyway.
